First off...
Nice review. Good clear voice audio. Love the mood music and FiXT, was that a mechanical pencil or a pen?
As for the case, it seems to have kept all the things I love about my CM690 and properly addressed the things that I had always disliked. Gone is the motherboard tray "lip" that limits space between the side panel and the tray, newly increased fan sizes on some of the stock fan placements (which will reduce noise), a VERY sweet removable drive bay panel for either better airflow, fan or rad placement, a bit more space up top to tinker with, better button placements and finally, better cable management options.
All in all, I would say that this case is definitely a WIN for Coolermaster.
Now, I can't wait to try and convince my wife to let me buy a case that will essentially look identical to the one I already have! LOL Ah well... c'est la vie.
Cheers!

ps: My guess for that vertical slot would be for switch or IO placement, but I might be wrong.
